Judgments are abstractions, limitations. To intuit intellectually is to break free from that limitation and see the manifold content of concepts concretely as one in the mind's eye. This intellectual intuiting however demands the development of seemingly superhuman powers of attention, concentration and memory in order to hold what is normally held separately and consecutively in small chunks, i.e. abstractions, of conceptual content called judgements all at once in a sustained concrete and unified, yet clear and distinct, intellectual intuition of a mental object, a synthetic unity, the concrete concept.

Rereading Leibniz's Monadology. He is obviously far from obscure but it is a shame how neglected he is relative to Descartes, Locke, Berkeley, Hume, Kant, and Hegel on this board.

>metaphysics
lol
philosophers are egoists who can hardly accept that their minds are physical and mostly can't in fact
since science has been encroaching on what has traditionally been the field of philosophy/psychology, the 'mind' shrinks and now exists only for potentially explaining qualia
the human mind will never comprehend the world as it is, but we can only experience it by empirical research due to biological and physical limitations of our own brains

2024 is when we finally restored the best of ancient metaphysics. No more nonsense about "becoming", etc. Life's good, Eleatic bros.
